TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 3.
A Factory Girls sad Fate.


When the engines shut down in Loril-
lard's tobacco factory, Jersey City, Saturday
evening, all the girls in the packing room
dropped work and prepared to go home.
The young Widow Perrine was among them.
Sunday was holiday, and the young wom-
en- who breathe the factory atmosphere all
week were chattering about plans for few
hours in the open air. Mrs. Perrine crossed
the room to speak to friend. A group Of
companions gathered about her. Ia CONVEX
sation she almost unconsciously seated her-
self on broad belt which hung limp from
the puleys. and talked of her plans for the
morrow. 10 was against the rules to go
near the betting, but the engines had stop
ped, the pulleys were motionless, the WIDOW
Perrine was weary with her days work
and where was the harm? The factory
girls about her were as gay and gossippy as
only group of girls can be with nothing to
do and plenty to say. No one noticed that
the pulleys began to revolve, and that the
belt was once more taught with motion
that is, no one noticed it till too late. Inc
broad belt of leather was suddenly swept
towards the ceiling with the helpless Widow
Perrine in its deadly grip. Her companions
reached out TO save ner, but IN VAIN. De,
fore they could fairly realize what hao
happened, her slender body was pressed
hard against the shining pulleys, ana
her screams filled the factory The poor
woman's companions looked at her in help
less horror. A young man, attracted from
another room, rushed for the engine room
to get the engineer to stop the machinery.
It was stopped, but not until the frail form
of the Widow Perrine had been mangled n
q manner that made the hearts OF her COM
panions who witnessed it sick, as they cius'
tered around to catch her last gasps on the
brink of the grave The unfortunate wo-
mans body was too large TO pass through
the aperture between the pulley wheels and
the ceiling, but her arms were dragged over
the glittering bands of steel, and she hung
there, poweress TO release herself, and
screeching with pain. One arm was pulled
from its socket and dropped TO the floor.
The puleys kept rolling around, aud, IS
the Widow Perrne hung by the only arm
left her, she could not help looking on the
msngled limb few feet beneath Her
companions say that she did not lose con
seriousness In q minute or two the machin-
ery stopped again and the Widow Perrine
dropped to the floor, her other arm hanging
10 her body by only few shreds OF flesh
She had strength enough 70 sit up for mo-
ment or two, but soon sank back on the
floor, exclaming, "AIy God I'm dying.
Oh mother sister, come TO me- and in a
short time was dead The Widow Perrine
was about twenty four years old, and very
attractive young woman. Her husband
died Of consumption about two years ago.
His widow was compelled 10 work for her
living, and in earning it she came to her
death

The GAZETTE is now the Oldest paper IL
the State, and with few exceptions the old
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY.sEvEN YEARS Gifts existence. In
its columns has always been found mirror
ofpassing events and the careful chroni-
cling of the history of what is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while i'll the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for OBJ.
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital. Situated as it is so close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis.
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as well as
from every part of the habitable globe
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa.
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE great desderatum with mer.
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes a full and
complete history of everything that occurs
in and near the city, and this feature will
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section of hesitate, is pub.
lished regularly, and all events OF interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com.
monwealth are TO be found in the columns
IF the @ AzFrrI,
The GAzETTE's circulation is steadily 10
'reasing, especially among people who con-
suit its advertising columns before purchas
ng. That this is selfevdent may be infer
ed from the fact that large country edi.
ion-neary as large as the daily--is sent
III over this section of country three tines
week, and is read by thousands, most OF
whom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of ad.
ertiaing III the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap-
areni.

GRAND FORKS, Oak, Dec. 2.-The
chamber of commerce tonight adopted
three bills and resolved to memorabilia
congress for the passage of the first for
the relief of all cities in the territories
having substantial improvements equal
or exceeding the present debt from the
act of congress limiting the power to
contract a debt; the second for the per-
nit to build two wagon bridges over the
Red River of the North; the third for
the division of the Third judicial dis
trict. The memorial adopted shows
that the water works alone of Grand
Forks could be sold for enough to wipe
out all the Indebtedness of the city
leaving much valuable property to the
city. 1t also shows the pressing neces-
sity for bridges. A resolution was
adopted requesting Judge Mcconnell to
gotO Washington and labor for the di-
vision of the district, rendering him eX-
penses. The secretary and Legislative
committee are authorized to raise the
means and push the measures.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2.-The income
of the Rapid City pOstoffice is con-
stantly falling off. and no building will
be leased by the department. However
an allowance for rent will be made on
Monday next, which will be as liberal
as possible considering the decrease of
the finances of the office. The appli-
cation for the establishment OF free
delivery system at Ashland and Apple
ton, Wis, MankatO, MIMI, and Fargo,
Oak, will be considered in day or two.
Those cities have the requirements
necessary under the recent act of con-
greSs and are likely to be favored with
carriers. The application of the post
master of Minneapolis for four small
stations with money order, registration
and postal supply facilities, has been
received and awaits the information
asked of the postmaster, upon the re-
ceipt of which favorable action is likely
to be taken at once.
